I think the biggest thing is following traditional trends where if we're looking at women who are in this kind of 40 plus or maybe 45 plus age group at the moment, grown up in the whole diet culture of move more, eat less.
And that's what people tend to do when, especially when they're trying to lose weight.
But if we were to switch it and say, you know what?
I actually want you to do more high intensity and to eat more to shift your body composition.
It becomes a little bit of a disconnect and people can't get their head around it.
But it's following the traditional trends that have been so well versed in the fitness world that really do not work.
If we're talking about the walking component of movement and that's what she's doing, no, it's not.
Because if we're looking at walking, we're falling into the idea that we're doing cardiovascular work, which is good.
I mean, we want that.
But when we start looking at what does it mean to age well, we need to look at how strong and powerful we are just to be able to carry groceries when we're 80.
Think about our bone and bone density.
And we also really want to examine what does cardiovascular fitness look like?
Because when we start getting into perimenopause onwards, because we've lost the epigenetic exposure of estrogen and progesterone and to some extent testosterone that affects every system of the body, we have to really understand what that means.
Because if we think about puberty and the first expression of these hormones in a major way, we see all of these changes that happen from a biomechanical and a physiological perspective in girls and boys.
And girls tend to put on more body fat.
They end up having less of an aerobic capacity as we compare it to age-matched or puberty-matched boys.
We see so many different things that occur with brain, brain health and mood development.
And so when we get to the other side of things and we're seeing the unwinding of ovarian function, every system of the body is affected, including vascular compliance.
Primarily estrogen and progesterone together work to improve bone density.
They also work to help with our blood glucose control, our resting blood glucose.
